WWM Celebrity Special Raises €285,000 for RTL Spendenmarathon

The 30-hour charity edition showcased personalities as much as quiz prowess.

Overview

  • Johannes B. Kerner led the totals with €125,000, Sonja Zietlow and Katarina Witt each secured €64,000, and Till Reiners finished on €32,000, combining for €285,000.
  • Zietlow departed the studio mid-show to tend to sick animals at home after locking in €64,000 for charity.
  • Witt drew big laughs by teasing Günther Jauch as the gym’s “biggest archive corpse,” a quip Jauch good‑naturedly accepted.
  • Kerner recounted a teenage night in a cell and narrowly avoided a costly error on a VAT question after a timely phone‑a‑friend from WWM winner and restaurateur Ralf Schnoor, then walked at €125,000.
  • The special drew 2.82 million viewers and a 14.9% overall market share, winning primetime in the 14–49 demo with 15.0%.
